The Point 99 (Running) Podcast

S6 - E5: Glasgow to Edinburgh with John Hughes (@Johnruns_) (60) - As we come to a first for the podcast, a mid-season break, to prepare for the birth of a podcast baby, we invest time to a packed episode.

Whether it's community spotlighting, news on merch or just the show and Steve as a whole, alongside this weeks guest, it's a bit of a bumper packed offering. There are plenty of shout-outs on offer, for events that unfolded over the weekend, and those coming this weekend.

In this episode we welcome John Hughes, fresh off of his phenomenal performance at the Glasgow to Edinburgh Ultra. We learn a little about the event and how John first took his steps into the world of running.

S5 - E10: The One That's Fat & Flast with Emma Coffey (@Emma.Runs.Ultras) (55) - We've reached the finale stage once again, but what a belter of a guest we have to celebrate and top off a belter of a season.

I'm delighted to be joined by Emma Coffey (Emma.Runs.Ultras) to chat about her success in a relatively short space in time, in a running genre notoriously hard to compete in against hardened achievers.

But in addition to ultras we chat about some really exciting things potentially on Emma's horizons, family and all things in between.

We have a good old bash in the roll call, appreciation, season favourites and a few thank yous thrown in for good measure!

S5 - E9: The King of Community Callouts (@Jimmybunter) (54) - Today we welcome the absolute KING of community shout-outs and appreciations for the podcast, but moreover a man who is an absolute machine and certified warrior in his chosen field of running torture...ultra running.

I'm delighted to be joined by James Gow, better known to you and I as Jimmy Bunter, as we have a great laid back discussion about his running, his reasoning and where he'd like to take it all next.

True to having the community callout king on the show, we have a strong showing from the community for shout outs to some deserving people, some familiar and some less familiar faces.

S5 - E8: Going Barefoot into the Beyond with Ben Weeks (@thebarefootdaddy) - We embrace something new today for the show, welcoming THE barefoot daddy to the podcast. This will certainly be an informative and enlightening chat with a man who is so chill, so relaxed and just an absolute pleasure to both talk and listen to. If you come in with no idea about barefoot running, you are sure to go away with a little bit of interest and certainly a better understanding of the vibes that it can provide to those who partake.

Steve runs through the usual shout outs, appreciations and love to the community, while touching on his own week in running.

S5 - E7: Mentality, Miles & Marathons with Matt Sutcliffe (@matt.is.running) - We once again go international in this weeks episode, to welcome a man who has been such a motivational, inspirational and all round positive influence to my and many others running stories on Instagram over the years. Having gone dark for a year or two however, being hugely missed, he is back and ready to smash some mega milestones on his bucket list, including the golden goose...a marathon! So join me in welcoming one of my lonest running followers to the show, as we spotlight the man who radiates positivity and brings a contagious smile to the table, all the way from Poland...Matt Sutcliffe, otherwise known as matt.is.running!

It's also a return to shout outs spotted by Steve, giving the Instagram stories question a break for a while, but with some extremely deserving lovelies on the list, it's a all round winner of appreciations and celebrations!

S5 - E6: The Running Fran is a Highland Ultra Fan (@therunningfran_) - In a change to the normal direction we head for our guests, being south, we’re staying firmly in the Highlands this week…which was the main reason we broke new ground for the show and committed to an in person interview, hitting up a local Starbucks and adding a bit of atmosphere to the background!

Although it’s familiar territory for myself, this week's guest is someone I hadn’t had the pleasure of meeting in person, until now, and what a delight she was. Topic wise it was sadly a return to the dreaded ultra marathon distance but I didn’t mind hearing all about it, especially seeing the smile talking about it brought to this lovely ladies face.

We talk about ultras, marathons and bringing the community together with a fabulous running group!!
